Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

At the hour of Xu, Biyue woke up at the call of the system. She saw that the alarm clock showed 19 o'clock. She splashed some mineral water on her face to wake herself up, opened the door, went to Luo Chen's door, pushed it gently, and the door opened with a creak. She saw Luo Chen standing by the door.

Seeing Bi Yue coming, he said gently: "Yue'er, you're awake. We just came back from dinner. I went to your room to look for you, but the door was locked from the inside. I guess you must be exhausted. Have you slept for a while? Are you feeling better?"

"Now that I'm full of energy, I have some doubts in my mind and I want to tell you something."

"What is it? Is it about how I was discovered in the pirate's lair three years ago?"

"Smart, but I'm just suspicious now. I found out that this general came here five years ago. His name is Guan Jiangyuan. He is the brother of Concubine Guan Jing in the palace. Concubine Guan Jing's son is the eldest prince, and your sister is married to the current crown prince. Do you think this matter can be simple?"

"Are you saying that when I got into trouble, he might have been responsible?"

"You and General Zhao came here to assist General Guan in suppressing the pirates. The power is still in Guan Jiangyuan's hands. I guess it was his idea that you go undercover!"

"That's not the case. I overheard that they were going to send people disguised as refugees or beggars to infiltrate the interior. Pirates often bring these people in to expand their ranks."

"I told General Zhao about my idea, and he was against me going, saying that I was still young and it wouldn't be too late to make military achievements in the future. Later, I don't know why he agreed, and said that if I could go deep into the pirates' lair this time and act as an insider, I could capture the pirates' hideout in one fell swoop, and then attack them from both inside and outside, and we would be able to win a great victory. When I return to Beijing, the emperor will definitely reward me for my merits.

In fact, there were several candidates who wanted to go, and they said that I was the one General Guan had chosen, so they let me decide for myself."

"I thought about it for a whole night and agreed the next day. General Zhang took me to meet Guan Jiangyuan. He asked me to do a good job and told me when to launch the attack. This time I was not the only one who broke into the bandit's lair, there were three other people inside.

So I took my brother, who was also my subordinate Han Liang, with me to carry out this mission. Later, we successfully infiltrated the pirate group and stayed inside for five months.

Before we went, we agreed to take action on August 14th. But who would have thought that at 3 p.m. on the 13th, a pirate pointed me out and surrounded the five of us. We fought desperately and engaged in a melee with the bandits.

Han Liang and I were forced to the riverside. There were too many pirates around us. The other three also disappeared in the melee. Now there were only two of us, so we were outnumbered. Han Liang died to save me. I saw him send a signal before I fell into a coma. "

Bi Yue continued, “Think about it, Guan Jiangyuan had already made arrangements in advance and was lying in ambush not far away. When he saw the signal, he took advantage of the situation and started the attack with his army.

Maybe he has already arranged a trusted person among the pirates. You are just a cannon fodder. Exposing you is just a trick. You and General Zhao have been used by him. Even if Da He wins this time and gets great credit, what is the use of this credit if the person is gone. "

Luo Chen frowned and said, "But all this is speculation. Without evidence, it is impossible to convict based on speculation."

Bi Yue felt that there was no way to refute what he said. Everything had to be proved with evidence. "Wait for me at the inn today. I'll go and do some research."

Luo Chen also knew that he would be a burden if he went with them, so it would be best for him to wait honestly in the inn.

He said, "Okay, go explore it today and make plans tomorrow."

When Bi Yue was about to leave, Chen Dong and Chen Nan came in, said a few words to the three people, and went out alone. He found a deserted place, put on his invisibility cloak, took out the flying carpet, stood on it, turned on the protective shield, and flew to the garrison.

The military camp was not far from the county town, only about ten miles away. The ground here was relatively flat, with a big mountain at its back. The tents could be seen from afar on the flying carpet, and a lantern was hung on a pillar not far away inside.

Bi Yue didn't know where the general was, so she flew over, put away the flying carpet, and came to a tent in stealth. She heard a soldier talking: "General Guan is on leave today, General Huang and several captains are drinking wine and eating meat in the camp, and we soldiers can't even have soup." Another said: "When you become a general, you will also be treated like this."

"Without wars, how can I earn military merit? I have to pay most of the little money I earn every month back home to support my family, and the rest is just for me to get by here."

The three soldiers were chatting. Biyue guessed that Guan Jiangyuan had been here for five years and must have his own house in the city. It would be better for me to go there to inquire. Why don’t I ask the system first? It would be a waste of time to run around alone.

"System, scan to see if General Guan has a house in the county.

"Ok."

Five breaths later, "Host, on the south street of the county town, he has a large house with three entrances."

So he got on the flying carpet and flew to General Guan's mansion, stopping in a secluded place in the yard.

With the help of the system, I went to the study first. It was dark inside, the main door was locked, and the windows were closed from the inside. I could only enter through the front door. When I came to the door of the study, I opened the lock with the master key and pushed the door open. I heard a creaky sound of the door being pushed open. I walked in and closed the door gently. I took out a flashlight from the locker and turned it on. I turned on the protective cover to block the light in the study. From the outside, the study was still pitch black.

The study was quite large. I first searched the desk drawers and found quite a few letters. I took a quick look and found that they were all letters from the last few days and did not contain the information I needed.

The system voice came, "Host, there is a secret room behind this set of bookcases. If you turn the vase on the shelf, the door will open automatically and you will see it."

Bi Yue walked over and turned the vase, and sure enough, there was a door behind it. She pushed open the door, and found a room of about 20 square meters inside. There were about ten boxes inside. When she opened them, she saw gold and silver, two boxes of jewelry, and one box of calligraphy and paintings.

I found another small box in a set of cabinets. When I opened it, it was full of letters. I took out a letter and opened it. It was from three years ago. There must be something more important in these letters. So I put all the letters in the box into the locker.

When he went back and looked at it carefully, he found that all the gold, silver and treasures had been collected. He had been a general here for five years and earned so much money. It was impossible for him to bring it from the capital.

Ask the system: "Check carefully to see if there is anything missing."

"Host, no more."

He walked out of the secret room, closed the door, turned off the protective shield, left the study, locked it again, went to a quiet place, took out the flying carpet, stood on it and flew to the inn. The window of his room was deliberately opened in the afternoon, he flew in through the window, closed the window and then put away the flying carpet. It was already midnight.
